Workshops available to learn about the Neighborhood Matching FundMatching funds support neighborhood-initiated projects

The Neighborhood Matching Fund, a program of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, is hosting three workshops for those interested in applying to the Small and Simple Projects Fund this October. The Small and Simple Projects Fund provides matching awards of up to $25,000 to neighborhood organizations for community-building projects.

At the free workshops, attendees will get an overview of the Neighborhood Matching Fund, the qualities of a good project, and the application process and requirements. The workshops are open to all: Wednesday, August 14; 6:00—7:30 p.m.
Northgate Community Center, 10510 5th Ave NE

The Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) Program awards matching funds for projects initiated, planned, and implemented by community members in partnership with Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Its overall goal is to build stronger and healthier neighborhoods through community involvement and engagement. Every award is matched by a neighborhood’s contribution of volunteer labor, donated materials, in-kind professional services, or cash.
